THE ART OF DELEGATION
0 Are you one of these people who don’t trust anyone else to do what needs to be
00 done ? Some managers they can’t bear anyone else to help them in any way . They
34 don’t believe that anyone can do such a job as well as they can . It is not surprising
35 that they get overwhelmed by work and complain that they have so far too much
36 to do, but it could be argued that it is by their own fault. If they learnt to delegate,
37 they would have much more time available. Besides the saving time and freeing
38 them to concentrate on tasks that are important, delegating also benefits to the
39 company. As if managers delegate effectively, their staff will become more skilled and
40 committed. Asking staff to take those decisions improves their efficiency and
41 morale. This will contribute it not only to the success of the team, but to the success
42 of the company as a whole. More importantly, it will also show how good that a
43 person’s managerial skills are, which is useful when candidates are considered for
44 promotion. Trusting other people to do a job properly and in providing them with the
45 opportunity to do so is therefore an essential management skill in all the workplace
of today.
练习三：34 SUCH 35 SO 36 BY 37 THE
38 TO 39 AS 40 THOSE 41 IT
42 THAT 43 CORRECT 44 IN 45 ALL
详 解：00 they是多余的，managers是句子的主语。不能同时用两个主语。
34 这里是指任何一种工作，而不是特指某种工作。
35 So far是“到目前为止”的意思，而文中是要用far来加强too much。所以应该删去so，否则不符合句子意思。
36 “……是他们自己的错误/失误”用了by句法不对，意义不通。
37 Besides doing something除了……以外，还……
38 Free somebody do something使某人无拘无束做某事。
39 As if 是“是乎，好像”的意思，而句子要求的是一个条件句。所以as在句子中是多余的，应该删去。
40 Take a decision / take decisions 做决定
41 Contribute to something 对…...有贡献 / 有助于……
